My position of 10 years is being downsized... and now I'm stuck while I try to find where to go next.
I've spent the last 10 years in my current role, no title change, a few decent raises, but nothing super exciting. I've earned my MAcc and CPA license, still stuck as a Staff Accountant title due to no upward mobility.
Almost 4 weeks ago, I was pulled into a meeting where I was told they were downsizing and splitting my duties amongst other staff. I am contracted to stay until the end of September or I lose out on a sizable severance. Ive been upfront about this with all potential employers.
I've been applying to lots of jobs, and have had about 20 interviews, mostly phone, a few in person... I feel like I will eventually land something, but struggling with the fact that most roles are a longer commute and despite 10 years accounting experience, MAcc, and a CPA, people want to pay peanuts. I'm also concerned that the wait time before I'm available is hindering my search, as it's a definite turnoff.
Any advice for me? Leads are welcome! Hoping for something that pays 6 figures, decent benefits, plenty of PTO/Company holidays, good health insurance, and potentially hybrid if possible. Located in West Central Indiana about an hour from Indianapolis.
I'm open to public, but have mostly industry experience.
